These very advanced maneuvers are for teams already comfortable with the basic maneuvers, intermediate maneuvers and advanced maneuvers. They combine complex calls, transitions and formations, so they are best approached slowly and rehearsed as a group.
Each kite draws a U to take the position of a kite in position N+2 or N-2.
Leader calls: u-turn, 180, u-turn.
We recommend performing this maneuver after a Cascade 90 in order to limit line crossings and then allow the kites to go all the way to the edge of the window, as illustrated below.
Leader calls: cascade 90, fly, 180 up, u-turn, 180, back.
To make a double U-turn, kites follow 3 sequences :
Reminder: we advise you to perform this maneuver after a Cascade 90 to limit line crossings and then allow the kites to go to the edge of the window, as illustrated below.
Leader calls: cascade 90, fly, 180 up, double U-turn, 180, back, 180, back.
This maneuver is an alternative to pair change. In practice, kitefliers mark angles and stops less. They curve their trajectories all the more as the team flies faster.
Leader calls : crazy change, 180, crazy back, fly, 180, crazy change, 180, crazy back. French equivalent: échange fou, demi-tour, retour, voler, demi-tour, échange fou, demi-tour, retour.
These maneuvers are an alternative to the turn up / down with this time the movements Crazy.
Calls from the leader: fly, crazy move up, crazy move up, crazy move down, crazy move down.
This maneuver is an alternative to the Cascade maneuver with Crazy movements. In practice, kitefliers mark angles and stops less. They curve their trajectories in the same way as the crazy change.
Calls from the leader: crazy cascade 90, crazy cascade 90, 180, crazy cascade 180, 180, crazy cascade 360, 180 up, back, 180.
This maneuver is an alternative to the U-Turn maneuver with Crazy movements. As with the previous maneuvers, in practice, kitefliers mark angles and stops less. They curve their trajectories in the same way as Crazy change maneuver.
Leader calls: crazy U-turn, 180, back.
Reminder: we recommend performing this maneuver after a Cascade 90 to limit line crossings and then allow the kites to go all the way to the edge of the window, as illustrated below.
Leader calls: cascade 90, fly, 180 up, crazy U-turn, 180, back.
This maneuver is also an alternative to the U-Turn maneuver with Crazy movements.
Calls from the leader: Cascade 90, fly, 180 up, crazy double U-turn, 180, back.
